Clare the founder of the 2nd Order of St. Francis:(Feast
Day 11th Aug)
Clare having refused to marry at
the age of 15, she became very impressed by the preaching of St. Francis. At 18
she escaped one night from her father's home and she joined the group of Franciscans where she
had her long hair cut off her head. Her father and his brothers stormed the
convent but she clung to the altar. Sixteen days later her sister Agnes joined
her. She and
others came to join her and they lived a life of complete seclusion. However
she spent the last 27 years of her life in serious illness.

Let them bring your forgiveness and You desire to
